I have some shirts that I workout in and they work great to wick away the moisture, but after I wash them and put them on, as soon as my body temperture starts to warm up, they smell....bacteria I think caught up in the material. I have tried hot water in the laundry but to no success. Any hints?

Thanks for answers so far, but I have tried baking soda, bleach and I wash them as soon as I take it off. Any other suggestions..........

I have found that if you add 2 cups of white vinegar in the rinse cycle of the washing machine. That will do it. Not only will it remove the odors but there is enough acid in the vinegar to fight the bacteria. The best is there are no chemicals to worry about.

If baking soda has not worked, perhaps a rinse in some vinegar water may help. You can swish them in the sink, or add it to the wash directly. Either way, it won't harm the fabric and may neutralize the culprit.

If they are white, bleach. If not try color safe bleach, and doing a prewash cycle, or a soak cycle. Wash in warm water and try to wash them on a regular basis so that there is less time for bacteria to grow.

Yeah, they paintings. there are a number of styles of under Armour nevertheless. purely remember to get the fewer than armour for the warmth. via fact they have some that are meant to maintain you heat, which will in all danger kill you.... haha.... yet yeah, they paintings. I even have had 4 under Armour shirts, i think of, and that i've got used and washed them for the previous like 3 years. won't be in a position to even tell they have been worn. great product. no longer purely under armour, Nike is sweet too.

Use baking soda in your wash

Add a cup of ammonia to the next load.... that will take care of the problem.
